We are blown away with the support we’re seeing from the SDCCD community to support our San Diego Promise students.
But we’re not done yet. Now is the time to rally and show students that we believe in them!

Dean Shelly Hess quote: If it weren't for my community college education and the professors and opportunities I had, I know that I wouldn't be where I am today. So giving back is really important to me.
